Do you all have an IPM or just PM strategy? I found some little white bugs on the tops of a couple leaves and I'm trying to develop a strategy moving forward. If this should go elsewhere, I apologize. Seems like there are a large number of organic soil growers in the Bodhi thread and I just wanted to get a feel for what you're using.

From what I've been able to find: Pyrethrin, Neem Oil and sprays containing Spinosad can be used indoors. I'm thinking of cycling 2-3 of those to get ahead of whatever these white worms/bugs are.

Have decided to purchase SSDD and Space Monkey from GLG. Pretty sure I am gonna pick the GG#4 x ssdd as the freebie. I recently got to try some GG#4 and am really impressed with the quality of its medicinal properties in regards to my PTSD and central nervous system issues.
Even with the currency difference, 3 packs of Bodhi, and it seems a random 5 pack from great lakes genetics? for the price is a pretty good deal.

Cheers :)

Agreed, GLG is great, with the breeder promo plus whole website price discount, quality freebies.

I tested bodhi's kush 4 x old mother ghani (omg) cross that remains unreleased. Instead of hunting for all the posts I made about it here, I'll just summarize my experience with it.

Kush 4 was given to Nevil Schoenmaker by Jim Ortega, and became Nevil's matriarch to his later kush lines. It wasn't used very extensively by itself; it was just a step along the way to Kush's future fame. Here's the whole quote from 2010 Nevil on the Mr Nice forums:



No idea how bodhi got a hold of Jim Ortega's / Nevil's Kush 4 cut, but like everything he procures, it's been extensively vetted before he uses it. Nevil in the 1980s and 90s was the owner of The Seedbank, head breeder for a short time with Sensi Seeds, and the co-founder of Greenhouse Seeds before Arjan turned it into a cash grab scam and Nevil divested his part of the business and cut ties.

Anyway, that's the same Kush 4 used in bodhi's DLA9. I really wish BreedBay was still around, because all of my other notes on the Kush 4 lineage are there. Here are some pics of the two Kush 4 leaners out of my 4 female testers from K4 x OMG:

They were twins. The Kush 4 imparts that very blue, steely look, and thick coating of trichs.

Real good frost coverage.

Here's some of the dried & trimmed shots, taken with my LG G3 phone's camera under natural skylight, 100% unedited, no filters, not nothing. The point I'm making is these were pretty photogenic nugs.

I saw a few nanners on both of the Kush 4 leaners during the first run, and they resulted in a few selfed seeds. Many of the unreleased OMG crosses suffered from nanners or herms, so what happened is genetic, I'm assuming. I was able to reveg the selected pheno #5, which I called the K9 Kush (4+5=9) cuz it made me feel happy like a golden retriever. Really awesome party effects, like a throwback to when you first started smoking kind bud with your friends and it made everything great, fun, exciting, and silly.

Unfortunately, the selected cut hermed again when run a second time, so she was not kept. I attached my whole smoke & test report as a PDF to this, so if you want the details, they're in there. :) Hope that helps answer questions about the Kush 4!

What a great report, are you that thorough with all your grows or just the testers? I take notes but mine are never more than a few lines that often don't make much sense a few years later, maybe I should put a little more effort into it. I liked your overall impressions, made me want to grow that strain too. It never ends.

Damn those buds look good. Amazing bag appeal, and from old genetics too.

Have you been able to compare the Kush4 x OMG with DLA9? Or gotten to run any of the other DLA crosses? I’m suddenly very interested in them.

I'm a little surprised you're interested in the Kush 4, but I'm glad. I re-read what I wrote and it made it seem bad. The only bad thing about the cross was the herms, and I'm guessing that's why it wasn't released. It also wasn't very potent, but the effects were so fun that I didn't care.

When I revegged it (pic above) I cut the buds off after 5 weeks of reveg, dried, and cured them like anything else. They lost all smell except for this cool cinnamon stink, and they kinda became these crazy balls of hash nastiness. Really gross, tasted like tar, but man they were silly narcotic. So, I guess you just gotta take her 15 weeks if you're looking for something extra. lol

Sorry man, I haven't run any of the DLA, but I'm also super interested in a bunch of them. DLA2, DLA4, and DLA6 I've heard are pretty special. DLA10 looks impressive, too. Didn't have cash when the first ones were released, and don't have cash now. :(

You know it's funny how bag appeal changes over time. Nowadays it's extremely dense, frosty purple nugs trimmed down to nubile nubs, instead of big hairy bushy nugs. Yet just a few years ago, the favored bag appeal was those huge hairy & leafy nugs, rather than the tiny nugs. Before that it was green instead of brown. Before that it was sensimilla instead of seeded. Before that it was I'll take whatever I can get. Before that...well, I dunno. But it's crazy how things change in the desired look of buds, people, food, everything.

LOL @ my stoner ramblings. ;)

Y'all might find it weird, but my shower curtain shows how much I love bodhi. :cool:

bodhi showers bring....jpg


Thanks @Strudelheim :p high 5!! :-P I've had mostly great experiences with bodhi seeds, and both he and his wife are gracious and kind, if you can get their attention. It's gotta be crazy to run a business with thousands of moving parts used to create a hundred new products every year, and do it with only 2 people who also raise 3 kids. Talk about a dynamic duo!

I remember from one of those interviews bodhi said he researches and confirms each cut he gets as much as possible before using it, so I figure it's the least I can do to go to similar lengths when testing for him. Give it a shot! Detailed notes sometimes help me track down issues or repeat past successes.

That reminds me. I really need to start putting some of this info into strain reviews at the seedbanks so that it gets saved for posterity's sake. I write a bunch of stuff down, but recently had a security issue and ditched some old harddrives that contained the backups. So much info is lost when shit like that happens, or when sites like BreedBay go down, that it's super important to write this stuff down & post pics in multiple places. Maybe it's time to start that project...thanks for the inspiration @Baja.Beaches :D :clap:

Check out https://mountainorganics.net/

They make 100% organic tinctures for IPM's and foilar feeding. I have used their aloe and sprout foilar sprays in the past and just started using their Citrus Herb tonic mixed with their Ritha (as an emulsifire) as my IPM weekly spray. Plants seem to be loving it, its 100% organic and can be used pretty far into flowering if things get bad. They also sell high quality 100% Neem and Karanja Oils if you want to go that route. Be aware that these are not kill on contact solutions and may take a few weeks to start having an effect.

For a non organic solution I just used a product called Green Cleaner. It is a kill on contact spray that is alcohol based and does not leech into the plant at all. I had a pretty bad spider mite infestation my last run and I sprayed every two days for 10 days straight and it seems to have gotten completely rid of the mites (so far at least).

I've had some good results with SNS-209. I spray and water it in a couple times and then just water after that. It takes a couple weeks to start working and won't get rid of every single bug, but I had an almost bug free harvest in my greenhouse with it in a wet and warm tropical climate with just about every kind of bug pest living here year-round. It's probably better to start using early on I'd guess.

My mom is wanting a strain thats good for nerve pain and sleep. Does anybody know what strain from bodhi would be good for this?

I second the SSDD recommend. I’ve got ongoing neuropathy from a climbing accident and SSDD is just what the dr ordered... partly for diminishing pain sure, but mostly just making me care about it less. With the weird electric or burning sensations that accompany nerve pain, I find that really important too.

Yep can def tell now. If you don't want those airy buds, I'll be happy to take them off your hands lol

Hah, that is truly kind and generous of you. I gotta see it through for Mr. B, but who knows, maybe it'll go forever and really bulk up, I am not really in any rush. she is pretty greasy though, I've never had those light airy sativa buds so maybe thats what I'm heading towards? either way, I've had fun playing mystery bag grow with the tester seeds. Not sure if I'll do it again in the fall, but I need to finish this and get them the report!

I've noticed both of those plants have the same new shoe smell, but different on other notes. I wonder if thats a trait of OMG.
